Carbine Movies

[Bill Hollinger]

I noticed in the early episodes, Vic Morrow had a 5 cell Thompson 20 rounder pouch on the back of his belt, sometimes with 30 rounders in it. After that, he usually just pulled them out from inside his field jacket. I loved "Kirby" with his BAR, ("Cage" had a Garand). Besides Sgt. Saunders, Lt. Hansen, Cage, and Kirby, there was also "Doc," and "Little John. I think there was one other regular, but it slips my mind. Anyone else who was unlucky enough to be with them on a mission was usually killed off!

As corny as it sounds, I would love to have the complete set, but $160 price tag is about 400 rounds of carbine ammo!

BTW, Lt. Hansen's had late features.

Star Trek was another that went through "guest crew" members. Spock, Kirk, Doc, Scotty and Yeomen Smith beam down to the planet. Who is going to get killed???
